ebullition

Ladies don't throw hissy fits.
That's one of the rules, the guide,
the way to be a lady instead
of merely female. Anger doesn't
become you. It's not nice.
"Nice" compels to hidden emotion,
to choked down responses,
to bearing up and taking it.
And surely food will aid control...
at least of that. But why restrain
the ire to the enabling of the food
long after gluttony takes over
as the major problem in your life?
Sometimes it's best to let it out,
to shout from the roof
"I'm mad as hell and I'll not take it!"
instead of being nice, complacent,
getting along while growing fat.
